Dear Nicole,

So I would appreciate it if you could confirm if the rest people will come and whether I should book a hotel for them. l’ve made a pre-reservation with the hotel, but now they need to make the confirmation, so I need the flight information of all the attendees. There is a big conference happening near the hotel, so it’ll be fully booked soon. Also, I wanted to ask you if whether you’ve booked the domestic flights to Shandong , because I think we should also be book them soon.

I would like to invite you to the staff meeting. Please let me know if you are available at (time) /Please  make yourself available for the meeting. (Please block out your calendar for that meeting.)
